Senior data scientist
Center for Computational Mathematics at the Flatiron Institute

Jeremy Magland is a senior data scientist at the Center for Computational Mathematics at the Flatiron Institute. His work centers on building computational tools and platforms that improve access to complex scientific datasets, with a focus on data visualization, interactive analysis and reproducibility. He develops open-source software used across scientific disciplines, with particular applications in neurophysiology and spike sorting. (The Flatiron Institute is funded by the Simons Foundation, The Transmitter’s parent organization.)

Before joining the Flatiron in 2015, Magland was research associate professor of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he spent more than a decade conducting research in MRI, image reconstruction and algorithm development. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in mathematics from Brigham Young University and earned his Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania.
